Cowichan,
Asking who failed the tender is unlikely to get an answer. Those applying would not likely their ability in not getting a tender being advertised as dozens of experts in writing tenders could bother them.
What is appropriate is to have the published specification of the tender document. This would not be an in commercial confidence. The professionalism of that document and any supporting papers they gave to the bidders is important. The second question is who was on the commissioning panel and did it include those with relevant expertise who supported the tender process advising the panel. The final question was the marking and decision making criteria. Hopefully at least 3 or 4 people gave their advice and views on each tender and graded them. The final question is knowing the difference in grades between a first place and second place tender. Sometimes the winning tender is genuinely 99% ,but the one in second place could be 65% as they failed on something major like on significant safety concerns and others following them may have misread parts of the tender and scored far lower by leaving gaps or were trying to add in costs by changing the specification. Hope that helps. Tony
Theres a saying .
Quality will out.
This applies to investments.
The state of the Economies of most countries is dire.
The west is in a critical state ,no matter what we are fed through the media.
Then talk of trying to control the oil market.
Be interesting to see where this ends.
I hope it is not a diasaster.

So, neither Centamin nor Capital have made any reply to the questions I raised over the last 12 months in regards to:
1) was there a competitive bid process carried out prior to the awarding of the waste clearing contract at Sukari, and if so who were the other unsuccessful bidders
2) was a 'finders fee' paid in return for the contract being awarded
now, it seems that a key individual critical to the contract being negotiated is leaving* in six months
I did contact every board member at Capital & Centamin with these questions among other stakeholders in both companies. Did any of them too have unanswered questions/misgivings as to lucrative side deals ?
It is strangely specific wording used in Capital's press release:
"while also adhering to the Company’s commitment to the highest levels of corporate governance."
I'd say this change is therefore a good thing but perhaps this guarantees shareholders will never be given the facts - which is unfortunate for all.
Was unable to get above 30min, 1hr and 5 hr down channels, but came close to the top and pushed back into the close. All depends what happens over the weekend and Monday on gold. USA market is closed on Monday.
Yup costs spread amongst more ounces will lower aisc, but I hazard that inflation will raise it more.
Precious metals traded higher on Friday in a bid to reverse the recent downward trend. The geopolitical situation remains tense with the G7 agreeing to impose a price cap on Russian oil, pointing to potential market instability ahead. In the United States, nonfarm payroll employment rose by 315,000 in August, largely in line with expectations, indicating that the US labor market does not seem to be getting hotter.
Gold rose 1.19% to sell for $1,717.86 per ounce at 10:54 am ET. Silver gained 2.67%, going for $18.28 per ounce at the same time. Platinum was up by 1.77%, selling for $846.38 per ounce at 10:56 am ET, while palladium improved by 0.59% to go for $2,022.30 per ounce.

Hi Sotolo, hoping for lower AISC per oz sold compared to Q2 due to higher production.
If guidance on track my fag packet says total Q3 AISC should be around 160m v 150.7m in Q2
lower aisc? with increased oil, labour costs etc won’t this obviate the much needed aisc reductions. I shall be happy if aisc just doesn’t rise in which case we should be able survive with $1500 gold and maybe make £20m with $1600 gold if doesn’t go on capex.
....also increased Q3 production and lower AISC should give us another boost on Oct 20
Yes, unfortunately any one who has not gone with the party line has committed suicide and there have been many-very sad.
Cowichan , sorry for the delay in further replying, you do an amazing job, I dont know you get your energy/insight but CEY do have to have some accountability and it is good to keep up the PR and pressure. I would also like to thank other key people on this BB who bring knowledge and experience.
I cant say I bring much apart from occaisional humour
Sotolo,
We could see a low in gold over the next six to eight weeks. After that, my outlook remains positive. I am holding core positions in Centamin. I am pleased the solar farm is now coming on line. I look forward to the link up on the Egyptian grid at some point.
European stock exchanges were higher ahead of the last trading session of the week, as traders awaited the July data report on Eurozone's producer prices, set for release before noon local time. German trade balance figures for the same month will be published ahead of the open.
The DAX increased by 1.28%, London's FTSE 100 rose by 0.52% and the CAC 40 advanced by 1.05% at 7:02 am CET.
The euro was 0.24% higher against the dollar at 7:17 am CET, trading at 0.99692.
The British pound was flat compared to the American currency, going for 1.15502 at the same time.

8th Russian energy executive to die suddenly this year
https://www.cnbc.com/2022/09/01/lukoil-chairman-ravil-maganov-is-the-8th-russian-energy-executive-to-die-suddenly-this-year.html
Poor chaps. Nowhere to hide from the Kremlin.
Ye Razor as said at 9am going ex div today accounts for about 2.1p of today’s fall. We are now very near the cliff edge, if gold breaks $1675 the multi year bull will be through says TD securities today and they say it is not if but when and likely very soon. As said before, Cey may halve again or worse, but as long as Horgan doesn’t start spending money and stops the unaffordable dividend we should sail through to the uplands later this decade or next…Egypt willing.

Rio Tinto Group agreed to buy out Turquoise Hill Resources Ltd. in a deal valued at about US$3.3 billion, securing more control of a giant copper mine in Mongolia.
The deal comes two weeks after Montreal-based Turquoise Hill rebuffed a lower offer from the mining giant and ends almost six months of takeover talks.
The final deal represented a 67 per cent premium on Turquoise Hill’s share price before Rio’s first offer on March 11

mining executives looking to buy and not grow their production organically more often than not buy high and sell low - i.e. copper was near all time highs in March when Rio first approached Turquoise Hill Resources , copper/gold has since dropped and yet they ponied up more $$ to finalize the acquisition
Yes Doc ,almost forgotten about them.
Now time for them to save for their Christmas vacation to the Carribean.
Fuel for their luxury yachts ihas got more expensive.

The big swinging dicks are back from holiday and engineering fear
It's just the normal response to the FED last week and markets need to move to make money. When, for example, the S&P dropped to around 3,666 everyone was saying sell sell sell- but it jumped back unexpectedly for all the doomsayers-
Now it's retraced about 50% of the gain. The FED has vowed to hit inflation, had they not been so hawkish the markets may have risen but could also have fallen harder as FED would be seen to ignoring. Inflation will top, and drop like I've been saying all year- nothing this week has altered my strategy on my main investments - had a little gamble as normal though. Agree with Sotolo and many others here, that CEY has turned- and well positioned when overall markets improve. Bonds are a waste of time- yield is dire - and with interests rates still way low, Equities remain the place for investments long term. It's not like we're back to 1990's- in the scheme of things rates are soooo low.
and Silver price is falling daily too. Are the US Hiking Interest rates to 10% or something? Strange recent falls from the precious metals.
It seems many investors are selling stocks to move into US Government Bonds.
Nothing suspicious in that.
Van Eck made a normal small adjustment ,for them.
Goes on occasionally.
I wonder if the prices dropping in general are the start of the ressesion many have been expecting.
2.1p of todays fall is going ex div if I have it right so Cey is actually down about 1.3p just now, it has held up remarkably well SO FAR in the face of tumbling gold that the majority of economists seem to think will fall further as real interest rates rise. If you look at the inflation indexed 10 yr tip, ie the real interest rate, it is remarkably inverse to gold over decades. It was rising and hit positive real rates through this year, had a respite in August and gold did a recovery, and now on real rates are the way up again ie treasury investors, a massive market, expect rates to rise more than inflation on a 10 yr frame, so not good for Cey. A bit like 2013-15. However at some point that will turn, could be next year could be later this decade and baring political catastrophe I expect Cey to be around to do well. Another thought, if Cey has held up this well since the last results with collapsing gold, think how much it would have risen with rising gold, the market is finally buying the Horgan story. The big question for us is how low Cey will go and which of us will be frightened out when, and who will stay the course and alive chattering away here about Centamin, it’s prospects the metal it sells, and the economy it sells into
